IQmark Digital Spirometer Operation Manual

I. General Information
A. Description
The IQmark Digital Spirometer is a portable device that converts a Microsoft Windows-
based personal computer (PC), be it desktop, laptop, notebook, or pen-based, to a fully
functional diagnostic Spirometer with interpretive capability. The device is electronically
isolated from the PC and connects to it through the serial port (USB or RS232).
Together with the Diagnostic Workstation, the Spirometer makes it easy to record
Spirometry efforts, interpret them, and archive them for future reference.
B. Necessary Computer Skills
This manual assumes that you are already capable of using Windows-based applications,
that you have some understanding of how a PC works, and that you are familiar with the
basic operations of Windows. If this is true, you will have no problem using the product.
However, in the event that you have any technical questions or problems, please refer to
the Troubleshooting Guide (Appendix B) or the Technical Service Manual (Appendix L)
of this manual for immediate troubleshooting assistance. Customer Service contact
information is listed in Appendix R.
